I agree, no academic accountability for the upper grades!

I do agree with the individualized attention and small class sizes being a plus for the school, as well as the teachers being very good. The problem I found after keeping both my children in the school for several years, is that they really arent being prepared for any academic accountability. They now go to a more traditional school, and wow, what a difference in the amount of actual learning that goes on! They are actually expected to learn and recall whatever it is they are being taught, there is a level of expectation that I never found at Elysian. Sure the kids love it there, who wouldn't? You do not have to perform up to any level, too much coddling and hand holding goes on, not enough learning. It does have its good points, but enough is enough, once they get into the upper grades, move them out.

I am very pleased with the school. My two kids have been there since kindergarten and are both thriving in the Elysian environment. The children and comfortable and confident to make mistakes and take chances. This is the best way to develop the kids into people who love to learn and who will be lifelong learners. In addition, the school gives the kids the skills they need to compete in the truly global marketplace of the 21st century. Staff and leadership are excellent and staff development is emphasized above all else, aside from the individualized attention the students get.
